Donna Lively

On her 72nd birthday, Donna Lively peacefully left this earth after a period of declining health.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Horace Chatham and Betty Haney, stepfather Carl Haney Sr., husband Ronnie Lively, brother Lewis Lummus, sister Anita Radford and nephew Shane Bailey.

Donna loved her family and friends more than anything and cherished spending time with them. She was never afraid of hard work or standing up for those she cared about. She was a shining example of strength and resilience through life's ups and downs, striving to maintain a positive attitude no matter what. Acts of service were her love language and it brought her great joy to be helpful to those around her.

Her life mantra was, "I'm gonna keep going till I can't go no more", and this is exactly what she did…on her terms of course.

She is survived by her children, Ann Hare, Bill Lively and James Lively; her partner of 24 years, Raymond Guyton, his son Charles Guyton and fiancee Tonya Weaver; sister Dianne Elliott, brother Tom Haney, niece and nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren, along with several close friends that she loved as family.
